Good morning everyone, welcome to our part of the blog hop and fundraiser for Katie, if you aren't aware of who Katie is, she is just like us all, a Wife, a Mother of 3, and a Crafter, except what makes Katie different from the rest of us is she was suddenly diagnosed with an inoperable cancer, virtually overnight. A few tummy aches and then stage 4 gastric cancer. Her first post about it is here. The idea of the “Swimming for Katie”Blog Hop and Fundraiser came from her recent post here, Katie's story started just before Christmas last year and she is now in Hospital again and is very ill, her wonderful family are with her constantly. You can read all about the hop and her story hereI'm sure you have all heard of the Swimming for Katie campaign but we are just a little reminder just in case you haven't...I'm the first link on this blog hop chain so it all starts here
I used the Keep Swimming Octopus digi for my card, printed out four in different sizes and cut them out, these gorgeous papers are from Magnolia would you believe...I love the spots as they look like bubbles...I used the Keep Swimming flag from the same digi attached to a pin and stuck it into my lush striped ribbon bow
this is not the only digi available to buy for the fundraiser, there are more, each drawn by a different designer and there are stamps for your rubber lovers...hop on over and check them out here there is bound to be something you love...or if you would just like to donate there is a donate button too
This is such a worthy cause, we have all been touched in some way by this horrible disease and this is a way to help in some way, so please is you can please help...but if you cant could you help spread the word that would be fantastic too
your next stop on our hop is to the wonderful

Hi Mina - your make is fabulous!! So inventive and the pink candy stripe ribbon is awesome! Juliexx
Your card is beautiful, Mina! I love the pink & brown. I've been following Katie's story and blog for a while and my heart hurts for her & her family. I've purchased several digis, donated and will be posting a card I'm sending to her. God Bless Katie, her family and those in the papercrafting family who are helping out.
this is such a fun card, Mina! LOVE the design!
